Location >> Thailand Accelerates Public Bus Electrification – Growing Demand for Charging & Energy Storage Infrastructure
Date：2026-01-14
The Thai government has recently approved THB 9.1 billion to support the full electrification of Bangkok' s public bus system. Traditional fuel-powered buses will be gradually replaced by electric buses, with the first batch scheduled to enter operation in 2027.
As the scale of electric bus deployment expands, demand for charging infrastructure, BESS, and power grid facilities is expected to grow accordingly, creating new opportunities across Thailand' s clean energy value chain.
From Thailand to ASEAN: High-Potential Markets for Electric Buses
Electric bus systems rely on several key technology and product segments, including:
• Power batteries and electric bus vehicles
• Battery energy storage systems (BESS)
• Charging stations and power infrastructure
These technologies will play a critical role in the future upgrade of urban transportation.
Beyond Thailand, public bus systems in Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Laos are still largely dependent on conventional fuel-powered vehicles, with relatively low adoption of electric buses. As green transport policies continue to advance across the region, ASEAN is expected to become a high-growth market for electric mobility and supporting energy infrastructure.
Industry Connection & Collaboration Opportunities
As a leading smart energy and energy storage exhibition in ASEAN, ASEE 2026 has established partnerships with industry associations and government-related organizations in countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines, helping companies efficiently connect with local projects and market resources.
